Hi all

Im trying to place into a list of experiments the number of procedures for each 
experiment.
>From within the views.py I can save the number of procedures in an experiment 
>into either a list of tuples (e.id, count) or a dictionary {'e.id': count}. 
>But when I come to access them in the templates I can't do something like {{ 
>e."e.id".1 }}

The template:

This works: {{ pcount.1.1 }} is the number of procedures in experiment 1.
This works: {{ pcount.2.1 }} is the number of procedures in experiment 2.

{% for e in experiment_list  %}
    {{ e.id }}
    {{ e.name }}
    {{ e."e.id".1 }}  <----- what to use here though ???
{% endfor %}

In views.py:

def experiments(request):
    experiment_list = Experiment.objects.all()
    ecount = len(experiment_list) + 1

    # TODO create a dictionary of the number of procedures in each experiment.
    pcount = []
    my_tuple = ()
    for e in Experiment.objects.all():
        my_count = e.experiment_procedure_set.all().count()
        pcount.append( (e.id, my_count) )

    return render_to_response('lab/experiments.html',
            {'experiment_list': experiment_list,
             'ecount': ecount, # ecount is the number of experiments.
             'pcount': pcount, # pcount is the number of procedures in an 
experiment. 
            })

There are references to 'dynamic lookup' of variables in the docs for template 
authors.
But this seems very complex to use custom tags and filters. I know the docs can 
be a little behind the development version so is there an easy way to do this?
